    Western Resource Advocates (WRA) is a regional nonprofit advocacy organization fighting climate change and its impacts to sustain the environment, economy, and people of the West.
    WRA created an inspiring 2022 impact report to showcase the team’s achievements over the past year while providing a look at what was in store for the future. 
    Targeted to current supporters, major donors, corporate sponsors, and foundations, the bold piece aimed to inspire continued giving. Distributed both in print and digitally, the report combined visuals, stories and data to bring WRA’s work to life in a way that is appealing and digestible to read.
    “Building A Better West” was designed with an architectural and construction theme to mirror WRA’s four stages of state action that fight climate change. Each step ladders up to the next, using strategies that interlock and fit together to create an outsized impact, much like the visual and written components of the piece.
    The report is written to be professional yet personable, not overly sentimental but reflective of the work that is so critical to the Western states that WRA serves. Using clear and direct language, WRA invites readers to join in a better climate future.
